What It Is
Stress fractures are small cracks in the bones of the foot or ankle caused by repetitive force or overuse, common in athletes and individuals with sudden increases in activity.
Signs of a Stress Fracture:
- Localized pain that worsens with activity
- Swelling and tenderness over a specific bone
- Bruising in the affected area
- Pain that improves with rest
- Limping or altered gait
Without treatment, stress fractures can progress into complete fractures.
